    I'm going to start saving my pennies to replace one of my 7's with the 7 touch. I'd love to have 2 of the 12's though!

    There has been quiet a bit of talk about it on some other forums. From what I've sen it's pretty keen. I wonder how bad the screen will show smudges? Also I like to fish all winter weather permitting and wonder how the screen will work with cold fingers. My I-phone don't work well when my fingers are cold. IMHO the 9 will be the best value, it lists for $2479 but there wil be dealers selling it for less.

    I could see a 12" on the console of my boat though.

    Here are the specs on the new 12, 9, compared to the gen 2 10 and 8. The new 9 is physically smaller than the hds 8 but also has less resolution. No mention of how long the warranty is.

    I don't believe I will live long enough to justify the price. That price will cover the cost of my casket. However, if Low needs a good tech to demonstrate the unit, I will gladly volunteer. I have a Garmin 3210 which has the video in capability. It is nice feature, especially on a 10 inch screen such as my Garmin..

    With the dual ethernet ports, I now understand why you don't need some type hub.

    I like the resolution of the 12. I'm getting bifocal age and need a bigger screen with great detail.

    But, I just bought my side imaging a couple of years ago. Can't justify the costs. I'm sitting out on the HB brighter screens and will sit out this.

    Looks KEWL though.
